Wenxianju is located on Zhuque Street, not far from Anrenfang.
When passing by Anrenfang, Qin Huaidao saw a sign of the Supervisory Office hanging on the door of a house. The golden nanmu was made of black, and the three large gilt characters on it were particularly eye-catching. Each stroke was sonorous and powerful, revealing a bit of an iron horse.
The imposing manner, the heavy door was closed tightly, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
There are a pair of stone lions at the door, three steps, and horse posts next to it. The courtyard wall is very high, blocking everything inside, but you can see a few tall trees, but unfortunately the leaves have fallen.
Qin Huaidao estimated that the house covered an area of at least five acres and could be built with five courtyards. Such a big house was definitely not left by ordinary people. Thinking of going to a meeting, he gave up the idea of going in to take a look and continued to move forward.
Some distance away you can see Wenxianju Restaurant, which is three stories high.
The boy at the door saw someone coming on horseback. He was dressed in an extraordinary way and looked impressive. He hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Sir, would you like to eat or listen to music?"
Dining on the first floor is in an elegant room, which is a private, high-end route. Drinking tea on the second floor, there are stunning women playing and singing, it is elegant. Only invitations or close friends of the King of Wei are allowed to go up to the third floor.
Qin Huaidao was no stranger to this place and warned: "Feed the horse some fine food and I will go up myself."
"My guest, as is the rule in Wen Xian's house, no reception will be given without a reservation. I'm sorry that I have just arrived a short time ago and my eyesight is clumsy. Who is your guest?"
"Qin Li!"
"Damn it, little one. I didn't know it was Duke Yi who asked him to punish me in person." The boy was so frightened that his face changed drastically.
"Okay, feed the horse well and I'll reward you." Qin Huaidao threw a few copper coins and walked inside, all for the sake of living, without any fuss.
The shopkeeper knew Qin Huaidao, so he hurriedly came up to him and made an invitation. He bowed and said, "My lord, please be careful where you step. The King of Wei is on the third floor. Please!"
Qin Huaidao climbed up the stairs and went directly to the third floor. The hall was full of people, laughing and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious. The person sitting at the top was none other than King Li Tai of Wei. Because of his fatness, his eyes narrowed with laughter.
Several women nearby were playing music, the sound was like the tinkling of spring water, and the mountain breeze was blowing on the face, making people feel calm.
On both sides of the King of Wei sat more than a dozen men in rich and colorful clothes. They were either the ministers of the court or the heirs of a wealthy family. Qin Huaidao felt that something was wrong. For a meeting, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity by having so many sensitive people accompany him.
To establish prestige, lower prices, and seize the method of burning bricks? Or do you want to show your strength to win over?
Qin Huaidao, who never liked being threatened, became a little angry when he saw this scene.
Everyone looked sideways and stopped laughing.
Wei King Li Tai relied on his status and did not stand up to greet him, but he smiled warmly and said: "Master Qin, why are you here? I have been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry, come and take your seat."
The sentence "Why did you come here" is full of complaint and familiarity, as if the two are close friends. The second sentence "I have been waiting for you for a long time" expresses attention and seems to be trying to win over you. The third sentence "Your seat" is even more face-saving.
, and at the same time, he also told everyone present his attitude, indicating that he should not be offended.
Moreover, the voice was so intimate that people couldn't bear to refuse.
The children of the royal family have been exposed to the methods of winning people's hearts since they were young, and have mastered them.
Qin Huaidao somewhat admired this guy's method. No wonder he was liked by Li Er. His communication skills were really extraordinary, so he would not be fooled. He sat down next to the table where fruit snacks were placed, picked up the snacks and ate them casually, just like
It's my home court, I don't even bother to reply.
Doing so would undoubtedly slap King Wei in the face.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, but they couldn't figure out King Wei's thoughts, so they didn't say anything. King Li Tai's face froze, but he quickly recovered and smiled: "Master Qin, just be casual. I like casual people, who are genuine and kind.
You all know Mr. Qin, so I won’t introduce you one by one. I would like to propose that you respect Mr. Qin and congratulate Mr. Qin for taking charge of the Supervisory Office."
"Congratulations, Mr. Qin!"
Everyone was very considerate to King Wei and raised their wine cups one after another.
However, Qin Huaidao spit out the fruit shells casually and did not drink at all. Firstly, the wine was unpalatable and he was not interested. Secondly, drinking this wine would mean that he had accepted the love of the King of Wei and would be infiltrated by some people into the King of Wei's party. This was
A fatal thing.
The scene suddenly became awkward. Everyone raised the wine cup to drink or put it away. They all looked at King Wei.
King Wei was a little unhappy, but he suppressed his anger and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Qin?"
Qin Huaidao threw a piece of fruit into his mouth and said tepidly: "I have been ordered by the Holy Order to be in charge of the Supervisory Office, supervise the world, and specialize in serious cases of rebellion. I came here this time to see if you are forming a clique and intending to rebel.
, if not, then I will leave."
"you?"
The face of Wei King Li Tai became gloomy. Even though he was an outstanding man in the city and was very scheming, he could not control his emotions at this moment. How could he talk about forming a party and rebelling casually? He said with a cold face: "Master Qin is so big.
prestige!"
"The prestige was given by the Holy Emperor, so it is naturally very great. Does the King of Wei want to take back the prestige of the lower official?" Qin Huaidao asked back, his words were sharp and unceremonious.
Since the king of Wei reached out to bake bricks, there is no need to be polite.
"I?"
The King of Wei was at a loss for words. He did not dare to answer the question and had no way to answer it. Majesty meant power. Power came from His Majesty. If he said he wanted to, he would be slapped to death by Li Er. If he said he didn't want to, he would be slapped in the face again.
Suddenly, King Wei realized that Qin Huaidao's words were much sharper than before. He was secretly surprised, cheered up, and pretended to smile happily: "Hahaha, Mr. Qin is very eloquent. I have long heard that Mr. Qin argued hundreds of words at the court meeting.
The official had nothing to say, and I didn’t believe it at first, but now it seems that it is indeed extraordinary.”
Qin Huaidao's eyes narrowed. This King of Wei is indeed not simple. His ability to adjust his mentality cannot be matched by ordinary people. What he said is also full of traps. It will bring hatred to all the officials in the court. If he admits it, he will offend all the officials in the court and become arrogant.
Reputation, if you object, you will be slapped in the face.
The two of them exchanged a few simple words, but each word was like a knife, and they were sharp and sharp.
Everyone present was not stupid, how could they not feel the light and shadow of the sword? They all looked at Qin Huaidao in silence, and their minds became active.
"Crash!"
Qin Huaidao put the fruit shell in his hand on the table, clapped his hands, and asked slowly: "What does King Wei mean that all the ministers of the imperial court should not be demoted?"
Using his method, he returned the favor, and the ball was once again lifted to the feet of King Wei.
He dared to reach out to burn bricks, and also played tricks to attract hatred. Qin Huaidao didn't mind having a fight with him, not to mention the King of Wei, even the King of Heaven.
King Wei's face changed drastically. This sentence was even harder to answer than the previous sentence "the prestige has fallen". If he admitted that the officials in the court were not as good as Qin Huaidao, he would offend the officials in the court. If he did not admit it, he would also slap the officials in the face.
What's more terrible is that you can't answer even if you don't answer. What will the court officials think of you, King Wei? Is it possible that the court officials are really inferior to Qin Huaidao?
At this moment, King Wei, who was always known for his quick wit, became nervous, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He regretted openly asking Qin Huaidao for an appointment. His eyes, which were not big at all, narrowed into slits again, and there was a flash of fierceness in them, but he quickly covered it up.
, smiled: "Master Qin argued that the officials had nothing to say. This is a fact. What I think is not important. What does Master Qin think the officials will think?"
The ball returned to Qin Huaidao's feet again.
Using retreat as advance, the murderous intention becomes more and more fierce.
Qin Huaidao suddenly wanted to laugh. He felt that he was a little stupid. What's the point of arguing? It's just a waste of time. He stood up and said: "I don't agree with the words of the King of Wei. It's not that the officials who are arguing have nothing to say, but that all the officials know that I have nothing to say."
What the official said is correct, I just want to give the official some face."
With these words, he was able to pick off his hat cleanly and without any leakage. He also slapped the hat down with his backhand, describing the King of Wei as someone who stirred up tension among the officials.
If this hat is worn properly, King Wei's reputation as "kindhearted and pure" will be given color.
However, the King of Wei found that he had no way to refute. He had indeed said "Qin Huaidao made all officials speechless" just now, and more than once. He couldn't go back on his words or deny it now, right? His reputation would be even worse. If he lost his reputation, what would he have to say in the future?
To win people's trust? Why should we gain a foothold?
Seeing that Qin Huaidao was about to go downstairs, King Wei panicked. If he didn't move the situation back, his reputation would be completely ruined. He would be accused of inciting hundreds of officials. Everything was in vain. He quickly shouted: "Master Qin, wait a moment!"
